Patty Jenkins was born in the family of a fighter pilot and with him in childhood traveled around the world. She grew up in Lawrence, Kansas, where her neighbors were the famous beatniks Alain Ginsberg and William Burroughs. At the age of 14, in summer practice, she worked as an assistant on the set of the documentary about the beatniks “Reunion in River City”. After school, Jenkins continued her education at the Cooper Union Art Studio in New York, then worked in the advertising business for five years, was an assistant operator in the film crews of music videos. Her interest in cinematography led her to Los Angeles, the American Film Institute, where she worked on a program of experimental films, although she increasingly gravitated to films based on real events. In 2001, two short films directed by Patty Jenkins drew attention to the young director. In 2003, she debuted the feature film Monster. The picture made a lot of noise at a number of festivals and at the box office: both thanks to Charlize Theron, who played the main role in it and forced herself to turn into an ugly one - and received an Oscar for this role, which demanded such sacrifices, and thanks to the real plot of this tragedy. The heroine of the film, Aileen, from the age of 13 was a prostitute and turned into a serial killer. For seven murders of her clients, she was sentenced to death, and the sentence was carried out when the preparatory period of "Monster" ended. . .
